This is incredible.<\/p>\n

America\u2019s foreign-born population has declined by an estimated 2.9 million people during the first year and a half of President Donald Trump\u2019s second term, a historic reversal following four years of Joe Biden\u2019s catastrophic border policies.<\/p>\n

According to a new analysis released by the Center for Immigration Studies<\/a>, the foreign-born population fell from approximately 53.3 million in January 2025 to 50.5 million in July 2026.<\/p>\n

The 2.9 million figure includes naturalized citizens, lawful permanent residents, long-term temporary visitors, and illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n

However, CIS preliminarily estimates that the illegal immigrant population alone declined by roughly 2.3 million, falling from approximately 15.8 million in January 2025 to 13.5 million in July 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best data we have shows an enormous decrease in the total foreign-born population,\u201d said Steven Camarota, CIS director of research and the report\u2019s lead author.<\/p>\n

Camarota said the bulk of the decline appears to have occurred among illegal immigrants following President Trump\u2019s restoration of border security and interior immigration enforcement.<\/p>\n

The change represents an astonishing turnaround from the Biden years.<\/p>\n

CIS reported that the total foreign-born population increased by approximately 8.3 million during the previous four years.<\/p>\n

In just 18 months, President Trump appears to have reversed more than one-third of that massive increase.<\/p>\n

The organization concluded that net migration, the number of people entering the country minus those leaving, was negative during the period.<\/p>\n

The Census Bureau has separately reported a dramatic slowdown in net international migration.<\/p>\n

Federal estimates show net migration falling from 2.7 million in 2024 to 1.3 million in 2025, with a projected decline to approximately 321,000 in 2026 if current trends continue. Census officials attributed the reversal to both fewer arrivals and increased emigration.<\/p>\n

This is what happens when America finally has a president willing to enforce the law.<\/p>\n

As The Gateway Pundit reported in August 2025<\/a>, the foreign-born population had already fallen from 53.3 million in January to approximately 51.9 million in June\u2014marking the first sustained decline in decades.<\/p>\n

By October, The Gateway Pundit reported<\/a> that the decline had reached approximately 2.2 million, driven by President Trump\u2019s secure border, stepped-up enforcement, and voluntary self-deportations.<\/p>\n

The contrast with the Biden regime could not be more dramatic.<\/p>\n

In December 2023, The Gateway Pundit reported<\/a> that the foreign-born population had reached an all-time record of 49.5 million after rising by approximately 4.5 million during Biden\u2019s first three years in office.<\/p>\n

By March 2024, the foreign-born population had climbed to approximately 51.6 million, or 15.6 percent of the entire country, following the largest two-year increase ever recorded.<\/p>\n

Joe Biden opened the floodgates.<\/p>\n

President Trump shut them.<\/p>\n

THIS MAY BE AN ALL-TIME RECORD<\/h5>\n

Historical Census Bureau figures<\/a> show just how extraordinary the current decline is:<\/p>\n
